Computers and the internet

There are computers available for people to use in each library in Derby.

Free use is available to full members of Derby City Libraries. Visitors to Derby can use the computers by showing identification, normally this should be the same identification needed to join the library, but international visitors can use a passport, national indentity card or driving licence. We regret we do not accept credit or debit cards.

Computers can be booked for up to one hour at the Local Studies Library and at neighbourhood libraries.

You can book a computer online. You can book in advance and get the computer you want, when you want. You can choose a PC at any Derby City Library site. You will need to be a full member of Derby City Libraries and have your borrower number to hand.

You can also book a computer in person at your local library, or by telephoning them. Again, you will need your borrower number.

The computers at the Local Studies Library can only be used for family and local history research.

Please note that the public computers and the Internet service is available until 15 minutes before the library closes.
